Studer Chips Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Break out your 2009 WSOP Rule Books. It looks like we're heading for another application of Rule 96 (the "3am Rule"). Daniel Studer just took a sizable pot off of John Juanda and Thor Hansen. He completed the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

on third street and was called by Hansen's {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

and Juanda's {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

.

Studer bet again on fourth, the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

. Hansen called with the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

and Juanda called with the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

. Each player checked fifth street. On sixth street, Hansen had the betting lead and bet {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

. Juanda folded {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

before Studer raised {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

. That raise brought a fold from Hansen.

With that pot, there is no legitimite short stack. Given that a twenty-minute break is imminent, we look to be playing until 3am.
